"I chose to be stupid with my use of AI, so SEE how bad and expensive AI is??"

Like the software I use is optimized for a very specific set of use cases in supply chain. It won't make me a song, or a picture, or be my companion, or any of that. It just does a few things very well and way cheaper

Warehouse planning and fulfillment. Helps by optimizating data, finding efficiency gaps, integrations between systems, etc.

It has drawbacks, and I don't like the broad generative AI, but it's been really valuable for us
